Eurofighter Typhoon - Germany's Best Fighter Jet

@Gunjob is the EFT aerodynamically limited to 27° AoA, or is that something Gaijin simply conjured up to nerf it? Cus according to the Austrian Airforce website, the FCS will let the aircraft pull between 30 - 35° AoA.

Whereas currently, in-game, I have not been able to achieve anywhere near that value, the highest AoA I’ve pulled was 26.6° according to WTIRT.

Rafale has the exact same g-limits, yet Eurofighter pulls 6Gs less. This is just straight up bias.

All AOA in game is soft limited, as you approach and then exceed the limit the instructor backs off the controls so you start to lose authority. But its not hard limited.

Instructor prevents exceeding the 12G limit imposed?

Instructor cannot limit via G, it was attempted when F-16 came to the game and then dropped.

Also again there is no 12G FM limit right now, any 12G flat turn can rise to 14-15G with roll.

Gunjob coming out with the HEAT! 🔥🔥🔥

G onset is basicly how fast it can pull those G’s I’m pretty sure. So 15G/s would mean it can pull up to its structural limit of 12G’s in 0.8s.

That is just not true? I’m genuinely so confused how you came to this conclusion

Yeah, he’s spouting nonsense with that. Eurobomber does not break at 12.5gs lol, unless he’s loaded with air to ground with lots of fuel

I think that sometimes people forget that planes are not designed to pull infinite G. After all, they carry a very essential, but very fragile sack of meat called the pilot. And said pilot does not take anything other than 1G vey well.

I wonder if they will experiment with a rework for this, I think an instructor/FCLS system rework would be cool to see,

Smh imagine not lab-growing an Ace Combat protagonist to fly your jets.

It feels better without it off tbh, its so wonky, and you can still beat everything without it anyway

And to what level does Rafale rise while rolling?
I ripped at 20+ Gs once.

In game Rafale reaches 15G in a flat turn at speeds beyond Mach 1.

No aircraft in real life maneuvers that hard certainly not for more than seconds or half seconds in emergencies.

Irl Eurofighter is designed for maneuvering at 9G around Mach 1 and is supposed to beat everything in this regime.

Rafale has advantages low and slow. Perhaps instantaneous turn rate generally.

PixelEurofighter is a joke right now.

G loads in general are a bit of a mess.
Going beyond safety limits is fine but not all aircraft profit equally by the way it’s handled.
Authenticity in regard to respective performances should be the most important factor.

I’ve got it doing 24.6G with something in the ballpark of 20min of fuel and 4x MICA’s without blowing the wings off, and I can do so pretty consistantly.

Also, the flat G sustained pull on the Rafale is closer to 16g according to the HUD (under the same conditions as the above pic).

Something seems wrong with it.

I was doing the flat turn in ARB matches doing missile jousting third person.

24.6G is insane, especially without ripping.
What altitude were you doong that at?

3118m according to the HUD, unless they fixed the HUD and it now shows ft.

This was just above M1.0 iirc.

Even so that is quite low for 24+ Gs. 😂
